The Alberta Pulse Growers Commission has confirmed that 32.5 per cent of eligible producers’ 2019 check-off payment is eligible for the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit for their investment in APG-funded research and development projects.

For example, for producers who paid $100 in check-off to APG in 2019, $32.50 is eligible to earn tax credits. Producers who have paid check-off this past year and have not asked for refunds are eligible claimants for this year’s credits.

The Alberta Pulse Growers Commission represents 6,500 growers of field pea, dry bean, lentil, chickpea, faba bean and soybean in Alberta. Our vision is to have Alberta pulses recognized by consumers as environmentally friendly, healthy, nutritious, and recognized by all producers as being an essential element in a sustainable cropping system.
